Massive news today: We’ve raised $50M in VC! This investment in #perovskite promises to dramatically change the course of #solar. Read the press release:

Memo to journalists: There's a high likelihood the thing you are writing about does not "raise concerns" about something bad happening -- it is in fact the bad thing happening. Reevaluate your language and maybe your whole approach to the story. Tell the whole truth.

A new report found that federally owned or managed reservoirs could hold enough floating solar to produce enough clean electricity to power about 100 million homes each year:

Insurance companies are taking your premiums and investing them in oil and gas companies whose products are fueling more extreme wildfires and other disasters -- leading to higher premiums and more dropped policies. Super important story by @mbaram:

At @unDavosSummit, Tandem PV CEO @scottwharton (left) discussed advancements in #perovskite #solar, set to reach gigawatt-scale manufacturing beginning in 2028, taking over the solar industry just a dozen years later, according to @Rethink_Energy.

Way to go sustainable, @scottwharton.

Heading to UnDavos? Join Tandem PV CEO Scott Wharton, who will speak on the Jan. 22 panel, "Decarbonize or Destabilize: Navigating the Climate Crossroads by Investing in a Sustainable Future,” then moderate "The State of Climate Investing in 2025.”

Yes, climate change is a big part of why Los Angeles is a disaster zone right now. My @latimes colleague @ByIanJames explains the science:

Happy Perovskite New Year from Tandem PV.

President Jimmy Carter signs the Department of Energy Organization Act on August 7, 1977, creating the @ENERGY. We like to think he would have been intrigued by the power of #perovskites

Here are 10 charts from this past year that help to capture the global clean energy transition:

For Perovskite PV in the US to remain competitive in the global PV market we will need further federal support to create a US-based manufacturing ecosystem. Please see the following statement from USMAP https://t.co/xuB9i59Q3x

Perovskites r projected to take over @ 2040, sez Rethink research. But U.S. #perovskite manufacturing will require further federal support to remain competitive, according to this new analysis from US-MAP, of which Tandem PV is a member. #domesticmanufacturing #energyresilience

The median income for a household with rooftop solar is falling each year. In 2010, it was $141,000 — last year it was down to $115,000. Reporting by Dan Gearino via @insideclimate: https://t.co/XzAQLvZoZM.

“Anyone working in #perovskites today stands on the shoulders of giants,” notes Tandem PV founder/CTO Colin Bailie, who developed the first perovskite-silicon tandem solar cell while still at @Stanford University. https://t.co/Ar8U6g9hgL #energysecurity #domesticmanufacturing

Know the name: #perovskite And know something about it:

Today's Sunrise brief from @pvmagazineusa also reups a recap of its three-day webinar, during which Tandem PV CEO Scott Wharton discussed commercialization of domestic #perovskite solar panels, on day three. Tune in any time:

Terrific piece. We still have a ways to go to hit goals, but "if there’s one thing solar has done consistently over the last decade, it’s prove pessimists wrong." #energysecurity

How China might produce marketable #perovskite solar panels headlines the latest podcast from @Rethink_Energy. The rest: EV tariffs, German battery storage & whether & when Tandem PV might produce a "categorically" superior perovskite panel. Listen: https://t.co/XvPU5Og5N7
